2. I don't think most (over a certain age) have forgotten ANYTHING.

I do believe in the historical tenets of smart strategy--whether in a military or political context has included PICKING your opponents. In this case, I'd prefer my political opposition to be a sane, NON-insurrectionist/Seditionist opponent bent on destroying democracy and the country at large.

Does anyone REALLY think FDR (or Churchill) WANTED to work with Joseph Stalin? Really?

Picking the less destructive option for an ally--however transitory and temporary-- is not tantamount to forgetting or creating an alternative reality. At least if we are SMART.
